"I am beautifying your hair with the flora of this planet in a glorious display of our friendship!!"

"O....kay..."

"...Do you wish me to stop?"

"....I guess I don't mind."-----------------------------------------------I realize it's been an incredibly long time since I submitted anything on here. I have a big long journal entry which is forthcoming, but short answer is I apologize/ I haven't really had any pictures to put up here until the past couple days. ALSO I made a solo fanpage, and you can go like it here if you so choose: www.facebook.com/FlamingGoddes…Anyways, Raven and Starfire have been ~SkylitEyed and I's dream costumes since we first started cosplaying, and she finally agreed to do Raven for Otakon, and I of course had to accompany her. Teen Titans was one of my favorite shows when I was younger, and the response we got in these costumes made everything better. I'm planning on remaking a few things for Youmacon, but I'm so excited to wear her again. :3

If you have the face of a character then go with it. Especially when it comes to snapping their photos.Starfire's cheerful expression, and Raven's "huh?" look totally fit with their characters. Must be how their cheeklines are shaped to react to their expressions, but both girls seem to know how these characters should look when it comes to getting a face down.In the world of cosplay; the face is becoming more important. It's fairly easy for a Chinese, Japanese or Korean cosplayer to get the innocence and beguiling beauty of a female character's face down. So when it comes to us Westerners, we need to work a bit harder to make it just right. And I think these girls did a good job capturing the expressions of the characters for it being real life.Needless to say; the outfits are well done. They are fairly simple costumes; but they do require some prep work to make them look just like the characters.It's a cute photo capturing two of our favorite teenage crime fighters. One criticism I suppose I have is how its positioned. Raven's cape is spread out on the ground really wide which requires a wide shot. As a result; there seems to be a lot of negative spacing around them. I suppose that can still work for the BG looking like the city the Titans live in. Still; seems like a lot of negative space.But I still really do like it. Raven and Starfire are the perfect duo for any two girl cosplayers to go as; especially if they're close friends. The latter works out for all the better.

I absolutely love how you made Raven's skin pale, and Starfire's more tan. The costumes are down to the point, and their hair es fenomenal! The city in the background, however, is a little distracting, but it does stay true to the Teen Titans. The flowers are a great touch, because they reflect on Starfire's joyful personality, while Raven isn't so sure about them in her hair. This is a lovely photo, and I hope you keep it up in the future. I expect great photos later on, such as this, and who knows what's next? I'm eager to see more!
